Christmas in July

Members of the Backcountry Quilters display the Christmas placemats they have been sewing for the Ramona Senior Center’s Christmas dinner and those in the Meals on the Go program.

Everyone attending the senior center’s Christmas dinner in December will receive one of the placemats, which are dual-sided with a non-Christmas motif on the reverse side. The Backcountry Quilters, a philanthropic group, plans to sew 150 placemats. Pictured, from left, are Cecilia Hart, Janet Haas, Candy Mittag, Dee McClelland and Myrl Bivens.
